Dogs and their owners...

We own a puppy, a 9 month old chocolate lab. named Skye. And upon moving to Colorado she was, hands down, the reason we met the first few people here. Dog owners...love dogs. It's just that simple. And they can't resist puppies. I think I knew the dog's names around us before we knew their owner's names. But that is besides the point of this post...the point is our local Day Care/Boarding facility hosted what they called a "Yappy Hour" at their facility to raise money for the local Humane Society. Now any fundraiser for a local charity is great and usually good fun by my book. A fundraiser for a charity that includes my dog...is SPECTACULAR in my book. Unfortunately I only had my iphone to use as a camera but here are a couple of shots of the chaos.

Skye is the one right in the middle of the pool with the ball. Hubster is in the background shaking off some dog water splashes. :)

It doesn't look crowded from these photos but there were probably about 60-80 dogs spread out over two grassy areas and the pool. They provided hot dogs, snacks and refreshments. The dogs got treats as they left, which was a good thing because we needed something to bribe Skye to leave.

The Hubster attempting to grab a ball from Skye. She swam like a champ! 

The little pup behind Skye up against the fence was running around meeting every one moments before and I think was just tuckered out from the excitement.  

Not only did they fundraise for a good cause but many people brought young puppies to socialize them.   It's so good for the puppies to get a chance to be around so many different types of dogs and people. And good for me to be able to play with them :) 

Great gathering....no frills just show up, eat and play!
